What is VLAN ?

Answer Posted / sunilbaglur

Short for virtual LAN, a network of computers that behave
as if they are connected to the same wire even though they
may actually be physically located on different segments of
a LAN. VLANs are configured through software rather than
hardware, which makes them extremely flexible. One of the
biggest advantages of VLANs is that when a computer is
physically moved to another location, it can stay on the
same VLAN without any hardware reconfiguration.
